Diarmuid O'Sullivan told Aidan Walsh he 'gave up on hurling a bit early' in 2016

Former Cork selector Diarmuid O'Sullivan has revealed that he told Aidan Walsh he was giving up on hurling too early, when he left the Rebels' panel in 2016.

The dual star has returned to the hurling squad for this season after two years playing with the county's footballers, scoring four points from play against Wexford yesterday in his second League start at full-forward.
